[quote=Anonymous]Besides waiting a few years too long, and NOT specifying the kind of things that aren’t okay. I.e. adults touching/pictures/pressuring. And instead (atleast by the way you explained here) making it sound as though ALL sexual exploration—even amongst same age and consenting peers who are curious—is bad. You did an.. okay job I guess.

i’d rate 4/10.

Minus 2 for taking so long and minus 4 for (what I assume was generalization of how anything to do with private parts is bad unless you’re alone?…)

I could be misunderstanding about the latter, but from personal experience of discussion amongst parents i’m assuming you were like most making it black-and-white

(which IMO isn’t a good thing, especially if this is first mentioned after introduction into elementary because consenting exploration amongst same age peers/playing “doctor” kind of stuff is normal and shouldn’t be something that makes your kids feel shame.. are they now ruminating about the time they compared privates with their BFF Larlo and thinking they did something bad/Larlo did something bad?...)

I could be totally off base though, and maybe the entire conversation was about adults, in which case I’d rate 6/10 with the only issue being this conversation happened for the first time much too late. (Should be on-going starting early with different terminology and advice as kids get older)[/quote]
